==Key Stage 4==
===Meaning===
A '''monoclonal antibody''' is an [[antibody]] produced from a group of [[clone]]d [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] made in a laboratory.
===About Monoclonal Antibodies===
: '''Monoclonal antibodies''' are often made from a type of [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] made by [[scientist]]s called a [[hybridoma]].
: '''Monoclonal antibodies''' are made by taking a [[lymphocyte]], which has been made to produce a particular [[antibody]], and combining it with a [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] from a [[tumour]], which rapidly [[Reproduction|reproduces]]. This makes a new [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] called a [[hybridoma]] which [[Reproduction|reproduces]] rapidly and produces the [[antibody]]. Since the [[hybridoma]] [[Cell (Biology)|cells]] are all [[clone]]s of one original [[Cell (Biology)|cell]] it is named a '''monoclonal antibody'''.
: [[Antibody|Antibodies]] attach themselves to [[chemical]]s known as [[antigen]]s which are [[protein]]s found on the surfaces of different [[pathogen]]s or other [[Cell (Biology)|cells]].
